How do you pronounce Choukai?
Chow-key?
Is Chow-key-gay-ny right?

Over 60 something attempts later (before update)
DAT HIGHER CHANCE UMFF
4/7/7/2 20 Haruna K2 Flag

Something that's kept nagging me for months now. I see a lot of Pixiv stuff where defeated shipgirls come back as the abyssal enemies (shinkaisei?)

Was this canon that the developer created, or a community developed thing?

tfw white day

I need 2-4 help.

Level 40 Kongou kai,
Level 34 Kirishima kai and 33 Haruna Kai
Level 28 Mutsu
32 Akagi kai
31 Hiryuu Kai

BBs are 2 main guns, seaplane and 15.5cm secondary, except AP shell on Kongou

CVs are 2x green plane, 1x blue, 1x red.

All are full FP and Armour modernization, am I just getting RNG fucked?

>>13179526
Official settings somewhat implies the notion of
'damnation', but it is not a 100% official ruling yet, it is not yet canon.

>>13179552
Give Haruna the AP shell, you troglodyte. Also, you're not praying hard enough to the RNGoddess.

So how does one go about leveling CAs in 3-2?

I run CA(flag)-3CVL-SS-BBV. CA firepower just doesn't cut it, and also because they can't DA all the time, the CVLs end up stealing MVP just because of the initial air strike (I load them with 1 green, 2 blue, and 1 radar). I tried to right out take out 1 blue plane but it ended in the enemy fleet surviving until the torpedo phase and fucking up my CVLs.
Yes, I'm trying to get Maya to Kai 2.

>>13179996
Max out the CA's morale through pvp, only have 1 torpedo bomber on your carriers and grind them to low morale before adding your CA to the 3-2 fleet. Even if your CA fucks up once and doesn't get MVP she'll still have the morale to keep going.

>>13179743

How is the notion implied by the official stuff? Filthy secondary here, orz

Some of these corruption pictures are gut wrenching.

I'm bored of 3-2. What other maps are good for farming?

Can this clear 3-2?

>>13180909
I'd suggest you try modernizing your shipgirls with priority on armor (to survive until boss node) first. Also, try pvp sparkle them to increase evasion.

>>13180909
You can clear 1-1.

>>13179526
it's mostly a fanon thing, but the dev have lately start to embrace it.

the earliest abyss ship bear no resemblance to the existing shipgirl, but the fanon latch on to the idea of abyss = sunken shipgirl.

The developer just rolled with it and the more recent abyss (light crusier oni, destroyer hime) are obviously model after your ships.

Can I ask for some beginner tips?

>>13181461
Git gud.

>>13181461
Visit wiki, and study as hard as you can. also, /jp/ can help you with the rest.

>>13181461
Read the wikiwiki beginner's guide.

>>13179996
I always run a CA as flag (2x Red, Radar, Seaplane), a BBV with a single Zuiun, 3 DDs, CLs or CA (it's important they don't outdamage your flag of course) and a sub. Rotate the sub and the three escort ships, your BBV can theoretically be run into the ground and your Flag-CA should get MVP 9/10 times.

>>13180690
farming what exactly? EPs? 3-3 worked pretty well for exp while mochi farming, else try 5-2.

>>13180909
Gonna be very close, my DDs were all well in their forties when I cleared 3-2. Max out their armor, sparkle them and if you're very insecure give them all a repair fairy - there's no LoS requirement for the 3-2 boss so you can pack them with the fairies instead of radars.

What is the most efficient fleet composition for 5-4 leveling ?

The game is truly awesome and I love Japanese games (although I like many western ones as well).

But I've got to admit, I am a little put off by how many J-things are J-IP address only.

I suppose I can see the logical reasons behind it, but other developed countries don't bend over backwards to keep others out.

It puts me off playing. They are welcome to join western whatever but their things are only for Japanese. I get tired of the attitude sometimes.

>>13182939
I actually like it that way.

By blocking out foreigners Japan gets to filter out the low level trolls and SJWs from the rest of the world ("omg japanese imperializmz", "omg japan is making kiddie porn"), because if you don't filter them out then someone is going to whine loudly about it.

This allows Japan to keep making more quirky stuff without having to give a fuck about people who are easily offended.

>>13182939
You make it sound like westerners don't region lock their things.

>>13182939
Then don't play. Baka gaijin.

>>13182993
Don't behave that way.
And it's silly to interlace random Japanese words in with your English.
Also .. you are not Japanese.
>>13182983
You do have a point there.

After grinding a few hours I suddenly got this message, tried to log out and relog but after clicking "game start" it pops up again. I even deleted cache, restart pc and modem. Even tried some solutions from the wiki but still can't play. Can any of you guys help me?

>>13183023
Fix your clock. Japan doesn't use DST.

>>13183030
Already did that,actually I had my clock set in Japanese time before the problem started

>>13183023
wait a few hours and try again. Kancolle connection problems have a way of just going away after a while.

>>13183023
Some of the newer servers are experiencing a bit of outage.

I can't remember if it's still related to the chinese pirate kancolle civil war. What happened to that anyway?

>>13183037
Damn I wanted to grind all night long. Guess I'll go to sleep, good night /jp/

>>13183040
the pirate version was, predictably, shut down.

>>13183036
Fix your clock.

>>13183036
In case this >>13183046 wasn't clear enough, you're off by an hour from JST.

Try fixing your clock first.

>>13183053
Not him, but as UTC+8 I'm always off by an hour and never ever had problems.

>>13183046
>>13183053
>>13183058
That actually fixed it, thank you guys

>>13183058
I don't have to change my clock at all, but for some, being on exact JST seems to matter.

Might as well try that first since that seems to fix 90% of these kinds of problems.

>>13183030
>>13183046
Do we have list of servers affected by this issue?
Older servers play smoothly with non-JST timezone.

15 levels to go for my Maya kai ni. Not too bad considering how recently I got her

>>13183017
>Don't behave that way.
Don't tell me what to do. Your complain is not new and it's very common. I was also thinking the same thing when I was first introduced to this game. Now that I've been playing for like a year, all what I can say is you just get over it and play or don't play.

>>13183063
De nada.

>>13183072

How long have you been playing for?

>>13183082
I forget but it was before winter

>>13183095
Since late April 2013, shortly after it first came online.
I never expected the game to last this long, honestly.
I still remember the threads where people basically talked about who we'd miss the most after the game shut down, which everyone thought would happen in a year or so, as with most web flash games.

>>13183112
How much longer do you think it'll last?
I only started about a year ago, but I can't help but feel like the game only has a few more years max unless something really big happens.

>>13183122
Hopefully it'll last longer than you'd expect as long as it's still a fad, just like touhou did.

>>13183122
At this point it really depends on Kadokawa, they're the ones who have the entire business plan lined out and support the game financially.
As you might have already known, the game doesn't make money, everything comes from merchandizing.

Is Kancolle actually good or do you faggots just play it because it's (1) Japanese and (2) has cute 2D girl designs that pander to otaku?

>>13183201
Yes.

>>13183201
I obviously play this refined game for its deep, immersive lore, interesting game play, and the genteel community.

>>13183201
I play it because it's basically pachinko with cute girls.

>>13183201
Yes. Cute 2D girls make it actually good.

>the game doesn't make money, everything comes from merchandizing.
I think there's a newer interview (2014?) which said that licensing contributes around 30 percent, the rest was revenue from the game.
From the game revenue itself, most revenue came from homeport and dock expansion.

>>13183487
As a recently LSC-freed TTK, my best advice to give you is to make LSC a weekly or bi-weekly thing, depending on your resources, and avoid spamming it as much as possible.

If you treat it as part of your weekly quests, and temper your expectations on the side of failing, it can make the whole experience a little less depressing.

>>13182810
That isn't even the Kagerou's Isokaze. You dun goof.

>>13182810

>>13183063

>>13183063
>Kiso

Muy bien.

>>13183519
My limiting factor will probably be devmats. I'll probably be able to do LSC once every 2 days on average, judging by the number of devmats I can get in quests every week.

I guess I'll treat it like a 5 transports/3 CVs daily quest I guess.

Am I required to finish the composition and sortie quests? I just want to raise the ships I like

It's not like anyone's bauxite level was hit hard by the winter event. And not to mention the fighter power required to hit AS or AS+ wasn't that hard if you at least had enough Reppuu.

IT'S HAPPENING

>>13183932
The one time they gave fire directors, in the next event, AA cut-in became important. You should see the pattern here.

>>13183930
Gauge regen with fucked bossnodes like what we had for E-5 hard last kill is not going to cut it.

>>13183935
They were good to have, but they were hardly important to have.

>>13183935

>>13183816
>>13184017
>>13184019
Why are you saying this when they have hinted nothing at all? In my opinion, Mutsuki is probably the one that will get a Kai Ni.

>>13184123
Please no. It's going to be the most useless remodel.

>>13184123
Why? Because of anime?
I am placing my bet on Parsley ships.
Isokaze please.

>>13184139
I know, but given the leaked message to her artist it is almost confirmed. I would be fine with it, but I would prefer another DD to get it, like a Kagerou or Yuugumo.

>>13184139
Nah, she will get ammo/fuel consumption reduction turning her into the ultimate expedition slut.

>>13184223
O-okay, I was just worried about it banning anyone who ever used an API to play.
I'll be asleep at that time anyway so no issues there.

>>13184215
About a year ago, APIs began resetting something like every hour and a half. Everyone was afraid of getting banned because we'd all have to use VPNs constantly to keep playing. It lasted about a week and then they had to stop because it was melting their servers. The cookie method was then popularized as a way to circumvent it if it ever happened again.

No one should be able to play any of their games at all during DMM's maintenance, make what you want out of that.

>>13184234
Just get your API, but don't use it while the maintenance is going on.

>>13184239
For what purpose?

>>13184237
>>13184239
O-okay.

>>13184239
This doesn't make sense.

I doubt gauge regen would have a significant impact to /jp/'s event clear rate.
Unless, they announced the event in a short notice or makes us believe that it would be easy (when it's actually going to be really hard).

>>13184234
Using the API link during DMM maintenance shouldn't get you banned, I know because i have done that.

>>13184245
Gauge regen doesn't even affect difficulty, it just forces you to do the map at once.

We're getting gauge regen again? Great! I can't wait. I miss Iron Bottom Sound.

I don't know what to feel about this drop, on one hand I failed to complete 3-1 with 21st DesDiv, but I got her instead, on another hand my Musashi attempt ended up in a 4:20 timer which means it could be Kaga too.

Anyways goodbye No-Kaga Club, I wish you all the best.

>>13184258
I pray for return of night-battle only maps with running away and random compass.
New people were never truly baptized by hell, this should fix it.

Every time an event is announced, people masturbate over gauge regen "coming back", and every time it doesn't.

It's better off dead, guys. I cleared the whole event and it wasn't a good mechanic.

>>13184280
That's the only way for them to tell newbies that they are oldfags now.

>>13179743
As far as I know... TVA shipgirls are people who has spirits of old ww2 ships. Abyssals are bad ghosts of sunken ships. And on game, Destroyer Princess of abyssal looks like fallen shipgirl. That is all.

>>13184289
Half of new bosses look like known shipgirls.

>>13184280
It's only a matter of time, just like Mima coming back.

Anyone know the official regen rate for resources?

All I know is that Bauxite is 1/3 of the other resources.

>>13184310

3 per 3 minutes, baux 1 per 3

>>13184310
Morale, Fuel, Ammo, Steel, 3 per 3 minutes. Baux 1 per 3 minutes.
Morale has soft cap at 49, resource depending on HQ.

>>13184250
>Gauge regen doesn't even affect difficulty,
Sure, for hoarders.
But for those who rely on natural regen, that's going to drive up the difficulty a little bit.

>>13184270
>No-Kaga Club
Man, i miss the days of being a member of No-Haruna club.

>>13184313

>>13184342
>>13184348

As in, one that you could send out before you leave for the day and have it return with decent gains, but I guess >>13184344 is a pretty good idea too.

>>13184294
Rather than ship girls dying and becoming Abyssals, I like the theory that the dead of the war are reincarnated into both sides at once. Sort of a yin yang thing. The ship girls don't seem to have families or obligations besides the war, so it wouldn't surprise me if they just popped into the world as they are. The devs have called the Abyssals malicious spirits and I guess that would make the ship girls some kind of hopeful ones. But so far the Abyssals have mostly minded their own business. Some like Darwin and Wake didn't want to fight at all. I remember Tanaka said in some interview that the story of KanColle would be told loosely through events, so it's interesting that we're now seeing nothing but Abyssal bosses based on Japanese ships.

>>13184360
It's also quite funny that node names in events are copies of Allied task force names. Abyss calling itself ABDA describes what Abyss truly is perfectly.

When fatigue grinding 3-2-A why do guides tell me to equip dive bombers on my carriers? Wouldn't torpedo bombers be more effective during the opening strike and since the carriers can't hit shit anyway during shelling phase.

Is there a reason to use Noshiro? Got her from the last event and the only advantage I can see is just 3 slots pre kai, she even eats up more resources than your average CL.

Fatigue grinding has 2 types.

If you're controlling mvp you want your carrier(s) to do just sufficient damage to kill a mob in opening airstrike. This means one bakusen and nothing else, even 1 tenzan is overkill and may cause it to steal mvp. Stuff the rest of its slots with yellow planes or leave them blank.

If you're not controlling mvp just go for maximum output config since whatever weak flag you're grinding won't have enough firepower to get MVP.

>>13184634
Agano class is a good substitute for Sendai K2s I guess, although the latter will always be my first choice in deployment for events.

>>13184630

Did Taihou get a boob job?

>>13184706
CA.

One tenzan is sufficient for most CV(L)s to fluke crit an opening airstrike target for 100+. Since you need the MVP bonus to remain morale neutral on flag, accidents may happen if your CV(L) decides to shit on a target during shelling phase once, or god forbid, twice at red morale.

Bakusen is enough for it to kill targets that have barely 50~ hp. There's no need to go further unless you want frustration delivered to your doorstep. I speak from endless 3-2-A experience, you're free to try your method if you like.

>>13184737

>>13184744
What is this Bakusen you keep referring to? Also I'm the guy who original posed the question. I'm have Souryuu now as flag and she's on her way to kai2. I have 4 other CV(L) and one sub. Souryuu is loaded with ryuusei kais and one yellow gun. In this case would it be better to load the other carriers with weakass type 97s?

>>13184746
Heavy Cruisers have a lot of ships I fancy. Also CVLs.
Not mentioning BBs because there hardly is a way one could dislike them.

>>13184746
Easily CA.

>>13184744
>Bakusen is enough for it to kill targets that have barely 50~ hp.
Somehow I have my doubts about that.

My sister doesn't use them because they don't kill shit. That said, her 3-2-A fleets are set up such that every ship needs EXP so it doesn't matter who gets MVP. So she just uses blue planes.

>>13184761
Type 62 fighter-bomber.

>>13184746
Easily DDs. There's so much variety and they're so versatile. AA, ASW, yasen.

>>13184779
If you're trying to be efficient then you want MVP to go to your flag, for higher total exp to your fleet.

>>13184746
CV and CA... CV since my utmost favorite is Shoukaku and CA cause of their versatility.

>>13183554

What makes you think that?

>>13184609
Hatsuharu
Tenryuu
Furutaka
Nagato
Shouhou
Shoukaku
Yuu

I don't know if this is discussed anywhere but what determines how many targets are attacked during the opening air strike? Is it plane count? Number of slots equipped with bombers? Number of carriers?

>>13184820
I'm not that anon but I think it's the fact that you have to pay for more slots for ships...

>>13184854
Number of slots equipped with bombers. Each slot targets a ship, they can target the same one.

>>13184855
Sounds like Kancolle.

>>13184845
>Hatsuharu, Furutaka AND Shouhou
Oh shit nigger. High five.

>>13184865
Ya well I know, but that's the only explanation I have for some1 calling KanColle Pay2Win.

>>13184779
Read
>>13184686
>If you're not controlling mvp just go for maximum output config since whatever weak flag you're grinding won't have enough firepower to get MVP.

She's doing this and its perfectly fine if she needs to mass level her team although MVP control will get you to your goal faster.

>>13184870
They were not talking about Kancolle though.

>>13184858
And what if I have more plane slots than enemies? Do the extra plane in those slots do nothing?

>>13184875
Oops, my bad. I failed.

Just Kai Ni'd my Maya.
*sigh* if only she'd have longer hair, she'd even be sexy then...

>>13184855
Well, I don't see why you'd want to keep lower tier ships but if that's what pay2win means to you/that anon then more power to ya.

>>13184874
Well yeah, she's usually levelling junk at 3-2.

But when I calculated the damage done by bakusen only Kaga had a large enough slot to break 50 damage in the aerial phase so I'm not sure where you got the 50 damage from. You'd usually need a Suisei to break 50 damage on one of the larger slots of a CVL (which I assume you're using).

>>13184883
Fuck you. No seriously fuck you. Are you implying that Maya with short hair somehow lacks sex appeal? Go light yourself on fire.

>>13184877
>they can target the same one.

>>13184883
I know that feel.

>>13184895
Not him, but yes.

>>13184895
>Are you implying that Maya with short hair somehow lacks sex appeal
Yes, yes indeed. As do most females with short hair.

>>13184820
If it's anything like WoT, enjoy opponents getting magical OP shells with real money.

I can't believe that this shit keep popping every time I try to get Jintsuu

>>13184895
I'd still fuck her but long hair makes a woman, well, womanly.

>>13184898
>>13184899
Such shit taste. I need to cleanse myself now.

>>13184901
Nope, Different Ammo types haven't been implemented yet but afaik all planned ammo types will be paid with credits.

Although I wouldn't doubt seeing pay2win ammo types implemented.

>>13184901
They aren't selling those magical shells in beta.
Yet.
However KTKM is a premium ship now. And having to pay real money to get some certain ships/weapons/characters is always a good reason to call any game P2W.

>>13184913
Please do so, maybe you find some taste yourself :D

>>13184854
That can't be right. I just had a carrier with all 4 slots equipped with bombers encounter a node with 4 enemies. Only 2 of them were targeted.

>>13184923
Meant to reply to >>13184858

I had fun while it lasted.

>>13184907

>>13184927
Ah damn. I need sleep. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

>>13184928
As expected from Wargaming.

I can't believe what I'm reading here. Maya with long hair would absolutely ruin her. She's perfect the way she is.

>>13184940
No, Maya-sama with long hair would be a goddess.

>>13184943
This.
She's not bordering on the Boy-with-tits territory (cough Hiei cough Mogami) yet but still...

Someone make a new thread for us pls.

I'll probably make fancy charts and shit when the thread dies.

>>13184943
>>13184949
Y'all should just give me your Mayas so I can love her the way she deserves to be loved.

>>13184883

>>13184905
You'll get her eventually, it took me 6+ weeks to get a Jintsuu, and now I get 2 every day.

>>13184923
Opening strike often misses, and there will also be flagship protection.

>>13184940
Yeah, that short hair fits her yankee image.

>>13184960

It would help if people ignored threads such as this one and moved to proper threads created after old one dies.

So, let the topic rest, let's get back to important matters.

Where the hell am I supposed to properly grind my CV(L)s? 3-2 as well or is there a better map for CV(L)-leveling?

>>13185138

you could try 4-3 since they can hit subs as well

>>13185138
3-2 is made for CV(L)s. It's primary grinding spot for all classes except DD/CL though it work for them great too but CV(L)s really excel there. 99% guaranteed MVP and S rank.
CV(L) flag with best planes
4CV(L) with 1-3 shit planes
1SS
There.

The reason why people don't really talk about grinding CV(L)s is because they're used for every other grind, so they naturally gain levels easily.

>>13185138
3-2-A fatigue grinding.

>>13185157
>4CV(L) with 1-3 shit planes.
Red or blue ones? Or does it not matter?

>>13185157
Oh, you might consider giving the flag SCAMP or 15.5 so she's always first to hit the lone alive enemy. BB might also be used for flags second shot.

>>13185162
Well, I don't have SCAMP, but I'll try the 15.5, thanks.

>>13185161
Look at Combat page on wiki and stats because you clearly don't understand the difference.

>>13185170
AFAIK torpedo bombers are responsible for the torpedo phase before the other ships start their attacks while red ones are responsible for the damage caused during the phase where all the other ships attack, no?

>>13185177
There's some truth in what you said but there's so much left out that you should really read the Combat page first. It helps a lot.
